Also, I popped by the Stags head pub (itself a victim of fire over the weekend) and can report that the pints, as well as the interior (of the main bar anyway) are still amongst the best in the city..

The Stag’s changed hands in 2004/5. On my first visit after the changeover, I asked for a pint of tap water to go with my pint while I was sitting at the bar with the paper and, where the barman under the previous management would have rolled his eyes ever so slightly before delivering the water, the new barman replied ‘Ice and slice?’

I’ve barely been back since.

(The fire wasn’t me, by the way.)
